After leaving the Sweet Lemon bar, Klein went straight back to the hotel.

Just as he was packing his luggage, a huge skeleton messenger suddenly appeared.

It originally wanted to tap Klein's shoulder, but failed because its head passed through the ceiling due to its height of nearly four meters. It could only throw the letter forward and disintegrate and disappear.

Mr. Azik finally replied. It's been almost a week... Did the messenger change? He looks very much like the original one. He will give corresponding reminders... Klein took the letter and unfolded it:

“I’m sorry I didn’t respond until today.

“Perhaps it was because the memories I recovered exceeded the limit of my body’s tolerance, so I slept for several days before I adapted.

"What you described is indeed consistent with the characteristics of the 'Thief' pathway. Their corresponding Sequence 4 is called 'Parasite'. From this level up, they all have the extraordinary ability to parasitize other people's bodies.

"As far as I know, there are two forms of 'parasitism':

"One is the preliminary one. The 'parasite' uses the 'host' to hide itself, prolong its life, and recover from injuries. It can see everything the 'host' sees and hear everything the 'host' hears, but it cannot interfere with the 'host's' thinking or steal his ideas. Therefore, if the 'host' wants to communicate with the 'parasite', it must speak actively.

"The other is total control, where the 'parasite' and the 'host'' are almost fused together, knowing his thoughts and intentions, and being able to actively take over the body.

"When facing the first type of 'parasitism', you can remind the 'host' through dreams, subconscious dialogue, etc. There is no need to worry about being discovered, because the 'parasite' must rely on the 'host's' senses to perceive things around it.

"In the second state, there is no way to bypass the dialogue between the 'parasite' and the 'host', but there is a chance to eliminate it. That depends on the object of the 'host's' faith. It is difficult for me to describe this to you accurately. I can only tell you that when you open your heart and pray, the object of faith can discover the existence of the 'parasite' and give feedback with the help of certain rituals to complete the separation or elimination.

"Of course, the prerequisite is that the 'host' itself does not know what will happen. Otherwise, the 'parasite' will definitely be alert and try to stop it..."

Isn't the situation that followed the same thing that happened to the little "Sun"? He prayed to me in a daze, and I saw the existence of Amon's clone. Then I concealed my purpose and taught him the secret ceremony, thereby purifying the "parasite"... Klein suddenly had a deeper understanding of the previous incident.

"However, I currently have no way of confirming what state the poet is in. When he was in Tingen, he occasionally talked to himself, which might be a manifestation of the first type of parasitism. But the problem is that it has been several months, and the 'parasite' may have already completed full control.

"We must confirm this matter first before we know what to do. Otherwise, blindly entering the dream will only cause the 'parasite' to discover our purpose in advance, making the problem more serious and more difficult to solve...

"If it is the second type of parasitic ecology, the poet believes in the goddess, but the goddess has tens of millions of believers, and it is unlikely that she would focus on the red gloves of a person who is neither a follower nor a saint...

"I am different as the Fool. I always check every prayer and often provide one-on-one service.

"This is the state of the 'start-up period'..."

As Klein thought about it, he suddenly felt a little sad and sighed.

He originally planned to ask "Moon" Emlyn to secretly monitor Leonard Mitchell and find out whether he often talked to himself. However, considering that the incident with the "Spark" gloves had already made Emlyn appear in Leonard's eyes and in the eyes of the "Parasite", he was likely to become the object of their vigilance and investigation, so he had to give up this idea rationally.

"Miss Magician is only Sequence 8, just a Master of Magic. She doesn't have the ability to monitor an Angel-level Parasite and a Red Glove...

"Ms. Justice's identity is a good cover, and she is also a follower of the goddess, but the problem is that she has returned to her family's territory and will not return to Backlund until June...

"Mr. 'Hanged Man' and Ms. 'Hermit' are at sea, and little 'Sun' can't even connect to the outside world...

"The Tarot Club still doesn't have enough members, and the power they have to develop downwards is also insufficient. I can't find the right person to help me accomplish this.

"Among the people I know, Ms. Sharon is probably the best and most covert at doing similar things, but I can't contact her now, even through Ms. Magician and Emlyn... Sigh, I fled Backlund in such a hurry that I didn't consider the follow-up of many things..."

Klein raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He thought that Leonard was an elite "Red Glove" among the Night Watchmen, and that he was being watched by senior deacons and the church. The "parasite" would not dare to cause any trouble in the short term. So he decided to temporarily suppress this issue and wait until he had the right helper.

Maybe after I digest the potion, I will go to the east of the Sonia Sea to find the mermaid, complete the promotion, and then return to Backlund to do it myself... The experienced Klein no longer hesitated and made a quick decision.

…………

Inside the Sweet Lemon bar.

After dealing with two of his trusted followers, the anxious Bilt finally received good news.

“You said that Admiral Amyrius set off to return to Bayam today?” He stood up and asked, holding a cigar.

His deputy Sothoth nodded slightly and said:

"Just half an hour ago, his fleet left the port and headed for the Rorsted Islands."

"Huh..." Bilt breathed a sigh of relief without concealing it, confirming that the admiral did not blame him.

Thinking about how Gehrman Sparrow, the substitute, had caused heavy losses to the members of the general's guards in less than four days, and had caused the admiral's brother to be dismissed from his post as governor, his secretary to be injured, and his mistress to die tragically in the villa, he could not help but deny himself and doubt his ability to handle affairs.

Although the responsibility for those things may not all lie with Gehrman Sparrow, the fact that they all happened together still makes people feel that it is the fault of the crazy adventurer. At least he is unlucky enough. As his recommender and employer, Bilt believes that he cannot shirk responsibility and will definitely bear the punishment from Admiral Amyrius.

"Your Excellency the Admiral is worthy of being a demigod. He has not let anger cloud his reason. Praise the Lord, may the storm be with us." Bilt clenched his right fist and hit his left chest.

At this time, one of his men who had been sent out hurried back.

"Boss, Gehrman Sparrow is missing!" the subordinate reported hurriedly.

Bilt frowned slightly and said:

"Gone?"

"Yes! After he checked out, he walked around the street a few times with his suitcase, and then disappeared!" the subordinate said truthfully.

It is indeed difficult to monitor an adventurer who can transform into anyone... Bilt sighed:

"that's all.

"No need to look for him anymore."

…………

After being targeted by the Mother Tree of Desire once, Klein carefully changed his appearance, identity, and residence to prevent himself from being targeted again.

With the benefit of playing the role of Admiral Amyrius, he decided to digest the potion through practice as quickly as possible.

After taking a carriage to the Oravi Medical Rescue Foundation, Klein entered the place again.

The person in charge of registration was still Ms. Juana. She looked up and said:

"You want to volunteer?"

“Yes.” Klein nodded seriously.

Juana took out the form and asked skillfully:

"Name."

Klein responded with a smile:

"Sinbad Warent."

…………

April in East Chester County is a great season for hunting, with comfortable weather, lush vegetation and beautiful scenery.

Audrey, wearing a waist-hugging black riding suit and a helmet to protect her head, was chasing the brightly colored pheasants with her bay mare.

With a whoosh, she shot an arrow and hit the prey accurately.

She is already a "psychologist" and her physical fitness has been significantly improved. In addition to the shooting education she received since childhood, she is now quite good with both guns and bows and arrows.

A golden figure pounced out and quickly bit the lifeless prey. It was the big dog Susie.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Audrey raised the corners of her mouth and clapped her hands to Susie with a bright smile.

At this time, the noble sons who surrounded her came up and praised her hunting skills or her training of hunting dogs.

Audrey felt a little ashamed of what she said next.

She never trained Susie at all!

The nobles quickly dispersed and continued to chase and intercept their prey, while the low-level priestess of the Goddess of Night, Ms. Simin, came closer and said to Audrey in a low voice:

"The last mission. If you complete it, you will get the 'Hypnotist' formula."

Finally... Audrey's green eyes lit up and she nodded silently.

Frankly speaking, if she was still the pampered and immature noble lady, she would have been unable to bear the accumulation of contributions for more than two months and would have started to buy the formula of the "Hypnotist" potion in the Tarot Club.

But now she is very clear that accumulating contributions is also a process of integrating into the "Psychological Alchemy Society", gaining more trust, and laying a good foundation for obtaining higher-sequence potion formulas in the future. Therefore, she is very patient in doing those interesting or boring things.

Of course, Audrey did not waste these two months. She had been listening to the words of the noble children and personal maids, guiding them to talk about their inner troubles and helping them overcome their negative mental states, playing the role of a qualified "psychologist".

During this process, she found that she had unconsciously grasped the character flaws and habitual thinking of those around her through listening, observing and guiding. She believed that if she wanted to deal with any one of them, she could make the other person suffer or even collapse without leaving any trace, or make them help her for her own purposes without realizing it.

I have to say, this is actually a bit scary, just like the monster that controls the mind in myths and legends... Thinking back, Audrey couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Simin was not used to riding a horse, so he looked around carefully and said:

"Associate Professor Michel of Stoen University is a collector, and we hope you can buy a notebook from the Twenty Years' War."

The Twenty Years' War refers to the war between the Kingdom of Loen and the Feysac Empire from 621 to 642 of the Fifth Era. The former was defeated and lost the Ancient Elf Island, also known as Sonia Island.

PS: I recommend a book, "Dreams of the Cabinet" by Haibao. Hmm, it’s a very strange name.
